On January 1, 2001, the new City of Hamilton was formed from the amalgamation of Hamilton and the five neighbouring municipalities: Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek.
However, despite the amalgamation, RAHB’s MLS® system has maintained the separate municipalities and city names as shown above, which allow members to search those specific areas and their neighbourhoods. Additionally, it ensures listings appear correctly in property searches in Matrix.
Furthermore, Matrix uses the address, including the specific city name to link to the property history. Should you view a listing displaying the incorrect city name, please report the error by clicking the “Report Error” link, located at the top of the REALTOR® Full report as shown below.
Should you have any questions, please contact the MLS® Help Desk at 905.667.4650 or e-mail support@rahb.ca
Thank you for the notice in regards to property display of ‘city’….
If there is a rural address for example in Millgrove…we would put the proper address as noted in Canada Post…. but then for
Region / Municipality / Neighbourhood, we would then enter Hamilton/FLAM/FLAM W….
Just want to make sure we are all on the same page … we follow the address properly from Canada Post…
Thanks so much.
Hi Joannie,
For a rural property as the example given, the address would be entered as
123 Main Street, Millgove
Region =Hamilton
Municipality = Flamborough
Neighbourhood = Flamborough West
